Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller said Monday that there is no intelligence to suggest President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration is being targeted by any members of the National Guard.
Miller’s statement comes as reports surfaced over the weekend that the 25,000 National Guard members stationed in Washington to protect the Capitol were being vetted. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press on Sunday that National Guard commanders were instructed to be on the lookout for problems within their units.

They have to say something. The AP report was specific. The optics for the incoming Biden administration are brutal. This is what happens when you don't trust half the country.

But CNN and MSNBC and Steve Cohen promised there would be an uprising within the ranks

Troops, who've taken an oath on their lives to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, being vetted? For being Trump supporters? And DOD follows through on a Democrat's ravings? This is unforgiveable. I'm surprised there haven't already been resignations from the Guard.

Does anybody know who had the authority to call the National Guard from every state in the nation to DC? I really am confused. Did the mayor? Or nancy pelosi? Or President Trump?

The thing that I noticed about all the Dem politicians, and pundits of the political establishment that has struck me is how terrified they all seem to be. What are they afraid of? They all display the characteristics of the guilty. They all know that they have engaged in a massive act of criminality. They are guilty, and they show it. They are like the war criminals in WWII who tried to hide their heinous acts in the closing days of the war. They didn't win an election. They are staging a coup and are covering their tracks in case any detectives come snooping around. Thus the massive show of force. Come Wednesday, Washington DC will be a ghost town, except for the troops. There will be no Biden supporters at the inauguration, because he has none. There will be the politicians, the reporters, the troops and no one else. Bidet has no mandate. When he and his accomplices finally enter the Oval office, the incoming factions of the new administration will be demanding their cut of the loot. We won't have to do a thing. The factions will tear each other apart. It will be totalitarianism limited by the chaos of their own incompetence.

You don't just quit the Guard. You sign up for a term and you serve it.
I am sure some would like out, and if they are vetted they probably just get to go home instead of baby sitting the crooked Congress. No a bad deal really

I always wondered what we would do if preserving, protecting and defending the constitution ever became at odds with obeying the president. Then I served under Klinton. You just try not to think about it and wait to retire.

Reports have surfaced that the Biden Team has requested that the pentagon supply the inauguration with cyborgs who can be programmed without having to think anything. This would ensure that such troops cannot think ANY thoughts that are not APPROVED thoughts. They would protect the Democrats from those Americans who have NON-APPROVED thoughts deemed DANGEROUS by the Democrat Elite. Reports added that Biden had attempted to obtain cyborg voters pre-programmed to vote for Biden. He was informed that there were simply not enough cyborgs to supply the required votes, but that "other arrangement's" were in place so that a combination of STEPFORD Democrats votes and freshly printed pre-voted ballots would arrive just in time to swing the election. Media, academia, judiciary, etc., were told to pay no attention to claims of voter fraud evidence.

Chris Miller is a patriot. There are things that can not be discussed at the moment. Try not to worry.

We can vet our troops but not our corrupt politicians? This is still playing out. Trump won bigly.
